Oops! Don't Ask This Guy for your Opening Ceremony Speaker!

Here is a little discovery quite revealing and emblematic of Scientology leadership and the type of image they profess to promote.  Its somewhat old news, but worthy of posting here as a reflection of things related to the Scientology folks in Old Town Pasadena.

First, the image this group attempts to portray to the public; Scientology is a good thing, and respectable people endorse it.  Even famous narcissistic actors!

Several years back, when the Pasadena "Ideal Org" Scientology office was opened, amongst much soon forgotten fanfare, the event featured a speaker at the Grand Opening who has turned out to be, well, a complete fraud.  Actually, he has become more than a fraud, he has graduated to become a criminal. 

I am speaking here of the Right Pretend Reverend Dr. (Not Really) Nicholas Benson. As it turns out, recent press articles have exposed that Dr. Nicholas Whatshisname Benson is neither a Doctor or a PhD., or even Nicholas or Benson.  Read more about all this here.  Turns out he is none of anything he has said he was.  He even attempted to run for Pasadena City Council.

And to top it all off, and add insult to injury for the Scientology folks, Pretend Never Mind Reverend Whatchamacallit proceeded to get himself arrested last May for five outstanding traffic violations.

The moral of this short story?  Think twice, or perhaps five times, before believing anything you hear at a Scientology event.  Particularly a Grand Opening.
